03 - UniFi Network Initial Setup - UDM-Pro Complete Setup 2021

How come out of the 700 speeds you were getting your phone only picked up 140?

How long range is the wifi? Do i need to buy a separate AP?

sucks. everything about it. no one to one NAT, cant use for servers, and multiple IPS....they want you to buy a bunch of these (eg., one UDMPRO per server)

Thank you Chris!
I can not understand when you explain the settings because i have version Network 7.4.162 the latest version with UDM SE.
It is very different with your version. Do you have an updated version?

If you have 700+ speed hardwire , why you had 140+ speed ,WiFi on your phone if you are literal next to the AP ?

Hello Chris,

Since yesterday I have my UDM-Pro up and running, after using a backup created from my USG-Pro/CKG2+ setup. Setting it up from scratch did not work for me strangely.
However, the Unifi OS screens have changed. You might have a look into this.
For example: security, firewall and port forwarding have been merged into each other on one page.

But I really like your how-to's and I did learn from it, so thank you!

Cheers, André (from the Netherlands)

So the IDS/IPS will detect and stop way more than the Dream Router and Machine (non-pro)?

Thanks for this amazing series! Any tips on if the wifi network is failing to appear on my devices?

Thanks Chris for the very informative videos.

I am finding less and less reasons to switch back to the old interface. I did recently have some issues changing ports and speeds on USG-3 and USG-4-Pro units, which could only be done in the old interface. The new interface had the options listed, but would produce an error (and not apply the change) when applied

Thanks

sadly this video is already outdated, Ui keeps changing the layout, the new and the old layouts are different and there is no security tab at the top of the new screen, it's closer to the bottom under firewall. i wish Ui would stop changing stuff every other month!

I have just got the UDM Pro SE, which the WAN comes in at the front of the house to the pro. I have a 30m cable from the UDM pro SE to the backroom where the serve and the other devices are. Do i need another UDM switch as I have a CISCO and the software shows just the switch not the devices connected to the cisco switch, and i need to add a wifi AP down there, should i use the new mesh or just the wifi 6 lite

i have a dream machine pro sp edition on a camp for turists, it often runs out of available ip adresses, i have the leasetime to 1440 minutes. can i simply enable the auto scale network to have moore than 254 ip adresses in the range ? does it automatic reconfigure the lan settings to 512 range ? great channel by the way, i by you a beer :)

I think you should have a udemy course where you cover all the things you couldn't cover here

Thanks a whole lot Chris! Hope you don't age so we can have you forever😂😂😂

So this udm pro se doesn't broadcast a wireless signal? I still need to get an AP?

I'm moving from very rural Oregon, (lucky to have had Starlink), to southern Indiana where I will have 1 gig fiber. Your channel led me to invest in a Unify solution for the new house. I've already purchased all the hardware I need to start the install, even though we haven't left Oregon yet. I can't wait to get this up and running. I'm also going to get a Home Assistant system up and running.

Hi Chris. I currently run our company network with a Cisco Meraki Firewall with a Unifi AP- AC Pro Access Point connected. I am considering replacing the Cisco Meraki firewall with a UDM-Pro gateway. Would the configuration that is pre-configured in the AC -Pro Access Point migrate across to the UDM-Pro settings ? or would I need to repeat the settings ? The settings within the AC-Pro AP include a Guest Network

Any plans to update this for 2022? The UI has changed a fair bit

Can you create a Wi-Fi connection per VLAN with inter-device communication so all wired and wireless devices in a single VLAN can communicate, but devices in different VLANs cannot see one another?

This is fantastic. Thank you.

Thanks for all your videos on the UDM Pro. I've followed all your instructions and it worked perfectly for about six months, then the whole network became unstable and started not allowing my Mac computer and iPhones into the LAN Network. There was a lot of problems with the Wifi, which I've found very strange. I live in a 750 sq. ft. apartment, and on top of the UDM Pro, I have a UAP-nanoHD Access point. I think I am going to have to restart the whole thing, but it is a lot of work gone to waste. Maybe some indication about restoring from a backup would be very helpful. Another question: Do you think it is convenient to set up MAC address Filters and Fixed IP Addresses for each device connected to the IoT and LAN networks? Also, do you think it is convenient to create two separate LAN networks, one for home and one for work? (I work out of my home). Thanks for your help and keep up the good work.

What's the point to have mixed security protocol WPA-2/WPA-3 ?

thanks

Should the default "LAN" be considered just a management network? I guess it defaults to VLAN1? Should user traffic networks rather be on a different VLAN?

This video is an awesome help guide into the nitty gritty of the system, but it is wild how much things have changed since this video and version 6.2.26 to now at version 6.5.55. The UI is similar but still so different.

Seems the UDM-SE or the latest update there are some UI changes...from Internet Threat Management (now Global Threat Management) to other parts omitted or redesigned.

Hi theres. congrats for the outstanding content. Im having trouble running multi room audio on my echo devices, any chance you might know what configuration can help me with that? My devices are connected to differente APs, on a single IoT network.

"I leave auto-updated off because I don't want Unifi's horrible firmware updates to take down a customer's network..." ;-)

I got my UDM Pro last week and spent the weekend migrating from an USG (started fresh with multiple VLANs). Tried the content filtering for my IoT network for fun, but now its impossible to turn it off. I select "none" and apply... still set to Family. Anyone else got this feature stuck? I have a support case with Unifi support and are awaiting their second line.

Hello Chris, first I want to say, you are an amazing teacher and very easy to follow on how to use the Ubiquit devices. Thank You! Question if I may ask:

I currently have UniFi 48 Poe Enterprise Switch that will be using as for my MDF and have several UniFi 48 Po Pro for LDF's. And I have a UDMPRO for my Firewall. What would be best to setup DHCP Server. I am planning to use the UDMPRO but I don't know if it is a overload being that it will also be handling my Firewall.

Hi really need some help _ i have followed these vids (think they have been great) however my problem is that i lose my internet multiple times and only get it back when i restart the UDM-Pro I get my internet through Starlink and have got rid of the Starlink router and plugged straight into the UDM_Pro

Question, can you use the UDM pro with an external ubuntu controller? (like you can do with the USG)

I love watching your videos every time. I myself have a setup with USG and 16p switch PoE with 2 AC pros. I want to replace my USG for the UDM pro, but I want to set up 2x Vlan directly on the SFP WAN port. I read that this was possible with early access 1.11.0-14? Do you know if this is possible or do you have to adjust other things in the setup?
I need this for separate inernet Vlan and IPTV Vlan

If the WAN connection includes multiple VLAN-tagged networks, how can I configure all of them?

Why did you skip the IGMP snooping setting in the network lan part?

This is fantastic! Just installed my UDM Pro with some APs and whatnot. I'm a novice when it comes to networking really, so this is tremendously helpful. Thank you!

Thanks, Chris, for a really great playlist. I just finished up my wiring closet and am starting to integrate my smart home devices. The UDM pro gives me a really good baseline for a system and your videos have helped me immensely. Beer is on the way! Many thanks!

Love your videos

doesnt affect fiber lines getting 900 plus down and up

Can it do static DHCP allocation? I.e. configuring a MAC address to always get the same specific IP? I have some network stuff like printers that are a pain to configure the network settings on the device so I preffer to leave the network settings as DHCP and then have the router give it the "static ip" it should have.

Hello, can you change the dns to a Raspberry pi (PiHole) to block all ads on the network or does this route have the ability to block ads?

Would be helpful if there would be a big sheet with what all those different letter abbreviations mean

This looks pretty complicated, would you recommend the UDM pro to someone who does not know much about networks?

I have a static ip from my cable and pppoe from my DSL provider. this info comes in handy.
